Here is the log I have for the (old version) of pavel's patch:
The sensor can be accessed via various buses. In particular, SPI, I²C
and, on HP laptops, via a specific ACPI API (the only one currently
supported). Separate this latest platform from the core of the sensor
driver to allow support for the other bus type. The second, and more
direct goal is actually to be able to merge this part with the
hp-disk-leds driver, which has the same ACPI PNP number.
I'll try to follow with a patch doing the merge of the hp-disk-leds
driver, so that everything makes sense...
